clinton's trip to africa. as one of the pool reporters got to cover the tour, the mandela gave the tour to the clintons where he showed them his prison cell number five where he was held for 18 years. he was thoughtful, no sense of bitterness and clinton told mandela on that trip that he was glad his heart did not return to stone. i returned to that cell just last year on a tour and there's been fresh paint, it's a national museum. but what strikes you is that the tour guides are former inmates. they all neuman dellaen an they talked to me what it was like to be with him in those tiny cells for so many years hoping one day that their corrupt would change. i sat down with his former son-in-law who also told me about what mandela meant to the country and to the family. >> we call him da da you know, we always respect that he's the foundation of this nation. he gave us, you know, these principles of humanity. as a foundation for the whole nation, he was able to coko cou down -- calm down the fire when south afric

clinton, jimmy carter and barack obama. probably the only thing the four could agree on is they all admired and adored barack -- obviously, nelson mandela. and he was that kind of a force, not just as at the highest levels of political power in the world, but among the people, as well. i was in that soccer stadium the day that he was released after he was released. and it's just hard to fully understand the transformation of that country. you have to remember that before he was released, we didn't know what he was going to do once he got out. that he became even a larger figure in our lives than anybody could have anticipated. because he didn't tip his hand in any way about how he wanted to unify the country. there were elements of the a & c who said let the war begin now. but he chose not to go in that direction. and i think as obama put it, very appropriately today, he not only changed laws, but changed hearts, as well. it seemed to me that in his speech, as a tribute to nelson mandela, obama was speaking not just to the
